is there a type of career that makes men( or women i suppose) prone to INFIDELITY?

[KarlWrenbury]

am thinking pilots, doctors etc
( or taxi drivers for the c1 c2s)

oooh I worry about that so much morningpaper: dp teaches undergrads and MAs (worse!) and is respected enough in his field to get starry-eyed students despite pot belly unkempt hair and general scruffiness

yes Morris, most are in Swindon but nonetheless hotbeds of sexual frenzy

Medea it depends on the Man

some just don't do it

But there is a lot of Opportunity if they are The Type

this is why I never allow my DH near places of further education

oh Medea! Don't read David Lodge. His balding, scruffy academics are forever being stalked by gorgeous young maidens.

c1/c2 = lower class

Oh no - it's definitely the upper classes who are the worst bed hoppers - look at the Royals.

Yes I agree with the police - am unconvinced about teachers.

I reckon my husband's career would provide loads of opportunity. He always has to travel and it's not unusual for us to spend a year apart living in different continents (the first three years of our married life he was in Africa and I was in Europe). It is really, really tough and by god being in this situation with someone I didn't trust would be hell.

it's not the job surely. If a job was responsible for infidelity then anyone doing that job would be cheating...

The only person you should blame is the person doing it IMO. Don't use their job as an excuse. Imagine if your OH said 'oh but it wasn't my fault, it was this job you se, so you must at least see it was oout of my control' you would think he was nuts.

Construction workers abroad. It's almost incestuous. I think it's the opportunity more than anything. The blokes (and some women) are off in a different country, working very hard, playing even harder, no responsibilities, plenty of cash, out on the town whenever they feel like.
While the partner/family keeping the home fires lit, the one to organise the kids, pay the bills, keep up friendships. It's like they have 2 different lives, and have I met many blokes onto 2nd/3rd marriages, and STILL shagging about.

We're still in the industry, so based on my experience, where DH goes, we go.

Medics and Solicitors?

Lots of nurse/doctor and also Solicitor/Legal Secretary action.

Police...definitely, hence my divorce . They work anti-social hours together, then socialise together, ample opportunity for extra-curricular activities.

I do agree that you have to be the type that would do that anyway, (eg. my exh and his gf, both police officers who were willing, despite his marriage and our one year old ...).

Teachers yes, my not so 'd'p is a male primary teacher, few men do that but there are plenty of bored housewives work as teaching assistants, like a certain delusional slapper I could mention!!!

omshanti c1/c2 = are not 'lower class' as you so charmingly put it.

c1 is supervisory or clerical, junior managerial, administrative and professional. c2 is skilled manual.

Groups c1 and c2 account for the majority of the uk population.

Escorts

kingrolo

sorry, very poor choice of words, i was trying to say a lower profession to a doctor.

folk who work in pubs, bars, restaurants, hotels etc. all that alcohol and after work drinking. i speak from experience, he's a distant memory

carpenter?

no

Carpenter? Is that because they get a lot of wood?

No, because I have had one in my house for the last month, doing this and that and the other.

Totally agree with the potential at conferences.

Also, anyone who has a PA, or a lovely smart exec assistant.
